Daniel Stowe Forest & Cabin Trail Walk

Join us for a peaceful Sunday morning nature and wellness walk at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden and surrounding trails in Belmont, NC.
We will meet at 10:00 AM near the main entrance of the botanical gardens before beginning a scenic walk through wooded lakeside trails and natural areas surrounding the property. Our planned route includes the Cabin Trail, Duke Kimbrell Trail area, and portions leading toward the Seven Oaks Trailhead before returning back.
This will be a relaxed social walk of approximately 5–6 miles round trip at a comfortable conversational pace. The route includes forest scenery, shaded paths, quiet natural stretches, lake views, and opportunities for mindfulness, conversation, and enjoying nature away from the noise of the city.
We’ll pause periodically for short breaks, hydration, conversation, and optional photos along the way.
This walk is intended for:
• stress relief
• gentle movement
• meaningful conversation
• mindfulness in nature
• and connecting with others in a calm and positive outdoor setting
Please bring:
• water
• comfortable walking shoes
• mosquito spray if desired
• and light layers for the morning
Light rain may be possible, so bringing a small umbrella or light rain jacket is recommended just in case.
New members are welcome.
